Title
An OAM function to improve the packet loss in MPLS-TP domains for prioritized QoS-aware services.
Abstract
The emergence of new kinds of applications and technologies e.g., data-intensive applications, server virtualization, and big data technology has led to a higher utilization of network resources. These services imply increased bandwidth consumption and unexpected congestions, especially in backbones. In this article, a novel proposal is studied with the aim of improving the performance of prioritized forwarding equivalence classes in congested Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile MPLS-TP domains. The congestion impact on those QoS-aware services that require high reliability and low delay is analyzed. A new policy has been implemented on MPLS-TP, which is a technology that provides QoS by means of flow differentiation in the Internet backbones. The proposal is known as Gossip-based local recovery policy and is offered as an operation, administration, and management function to allow local recovery of lost traffic for MPLS-TP privileged forwarding equivalence classes. In order to fulfill the requirements for implementation on MPLS-TP, a minimum set of extensions to resource reservation protocol traffic engineering has also been proposed to provide self-management capable routes. Finally, we have carried out a performance improvement measurement by means of an analytical model and simulations. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
